A Florida woman tried to escape custody by using her 1-year-old son as a shield, according to Port St. Lucie cops.

Shanika Naissance Mathieu, 27, allegedly tried to steal some baby shoes from a Bealls store on Friday, but was caught by loss prevention officers, the Palm Beach Post reports.

When local cops responded to the theft report, Mathieu was reportedly on her knees in the loss prevention office, holding her baby and screaming and crying for officers not to arrest her.
